Week one, Friends, and Golf

Hello and welcome back to Project Health! 

Saturday made one full week of my new lifestyle, and what a week it was! I have lost five pounds since starting and I have never felt better. Everything I read said I would be feeling ten times better in just a week... and I have to say, I wasn't sure that was going to be me. Thankfully, they were right and I do feel better. Of course, I have a long journey ahead of me, but at least I'm enjoying the ride, right?! 

I have been trying to think of any issues I ran into this past week but I really can not think of any (Yay!) I few nights, I did find myself craving sweets... just going mad for them! I would have a few pieces of organic chocolate and my craving would calm down a bit. I was also finding, around dinner time I would be so hungry....  feeling sick, hungry. Once this happened a few nights in a row, I started looking at what I was eating during the day and how I could keep myself from wanting to go crazy at night. As it turned out, I wasn't eating enough for lunch. So, in return, my body was freaking out by dinner time. I felt like this past week was a learning experience for myself and my body... learning what foods worked for me and what foods kept me energized throughout the day. 

I haven't been missing any foods from my "old lifestyle", I think they only thing I have been truly missing is coffee. I have organic coffee from Whole Foods, but it's just not the same. Nothing about it taste like normal coffee. I'm still determined to find one out there! And I will... I will find one that fills the whole in my heart now that normal coffee is gone. (tears)

Saturday was a very happy day! I was thrilled to have made it through the week and I wanted nothing more than to work harder! Kelsey I were invited by two of our friends for a little golf and dinner. This is when my Saturday got a little scary. Having dinner at a friends house. Crap! Naturally, I could not eat anything that was on the dinner menu. But, instead of feeling bad for myself, we called our friends and told them the truth. The honest truth that I needed to bring my own food. And so that's just what I did. I was a little nervous that watching Kelsey and our friends eat yummy, tasty, lasagna would drive me right into a wall. To prepare for this, I brought tons of yummy food. And I have to say, I never once felt like I was missing in action. 

Oh, and golf really isn't one of my many talents. I came in last. Boo!
